the harry ransom center

it was a good place  really like the images that they showed us and its was the best i guess but i really did enjoy seeing the clock tower and eating and i like how it feels to take pictures at a collage and seeing all these wonderful sights

Richard Avedon

in 1944, Avedon began working as an advertising photographer for a department store, but was quickly endorsed by Alexey Brodovitch, the art director for the fashion magazine harper's bazaar. Lillian Bassman also promoted Avedon's career at harper's.

Richard Avedon May 15, 1923 – October 1, 2004 was an American fashion and portrait photographer. An obituary published in The New York Times said that "his fashion and portrait photographs helped define America's image of style, beauty and culture for the last half-century".
